From MCN today:
Colin Edwards has played down talk that he will lead development for Michelin if the French brand takes over from Bridgestone as official MotoGP tyre supplier in 2016.
Michelin submitted its formal proposal to secure the exclusive tyre deal during last weekend’s Le Mans...
I saw a few weeks ago where Colin and his gaggle of Tejano cowboys are riding the Baja 1000. I also think he is riding a night stage now?
I don't follow the Baja that much but I do follow the other big world Rally's like the Dakar enough to know that is one way to get ...... in a hurry...

I've heard via a friends Facebook that Colin Edwards is racing today but can see no montion of it on the web anywhere, surely this can't be true?
The MotoGP website says he will be in Hospital 24 to 48hrs and also he didn't compete in the warmup, I thought you had to compete in warmup to be...
Q You were teamed with him. Would you say you're a close friend of Rossi's?
A Oh, yeah. I would say probably, I would say, in the paddock, probably, I'm the closest rider to him, anyways.
Q Do you give him a hard time? What's your relationship like?
A Oh, yeah, I can give him a hard...
